There is nothing wrong with construction lines. Andrew Lumis the famous illustrator wrote books on his method of drawing dubbed “the lumis method” which goes into constructing a head/face or hands from basic shapes and working your way up to the full drawing. In his life and his work he used his own method all the time to draw faces and people.
While I understand not wanting to rely on them anymore for drawing anything your goal should be to intuitively understand the process your using without thought which only comes from practice.
I don’t want to be “that” guy but the first paragraph says:
“Disney+’s “Bluey,” the Australian licensed animated children’s program, topped all U.S. household TV streamed content with 25 billion minutes viewed across 154 episodes in the first six months of 2025, according to new data from Nielsen.”
Which gives credence to your complaint, but also details specifically that they are talking about viewership via Disney Plus not via the Australian networks viewership.
